“…Further information about PMA2020 survey methods and survey countries is available elsewhere (Zimmerman et al. 2017). This study includes the latest survey data from 7 countries in which data are nationally representative: Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Niger, and Uganda and from three countries in which data are representative at a subregional (e.g., state) level: Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Nigeria, and India (AAU SPH 2017; CRERD 2017; ICRH 2017; IIHMR 2017; INS Côte d'Ivoire 2017; INS Niger 2017; ISSP 2017; KNUST 2016; MUSPH 2018; Tulane SPHTM 2017).…”

Estimated use of emergency contraception (EC) remains low, and one reason is measurement challenges. The study aims to compare EC use estimates using five approaches. Data come from Performance Monitoring and Accountability 2020 surveys from 10 countries, representative sample surveys of women aged 15 to 49 years. We explore EC use employing the five definitions and calculate absolute differences between a reference definition (percentage of women currently using EC as the most effective method) and each of the subsequent four, including the most inclusive (percentage of women having used EC in the past year). Across the 17 geographies, estimated use varies greatly by definition and EC use employing the most inclusive definition is statistically significantly higher than the reference estimate. Impact of using various definitions is most pronounced among unmarried sexually active women. The conventional definition of EC use likely underestimates the magnitude of EC use, which has unique programmatic implications.

BackgroundFamily planning counseling is critical for women to make informed reproductive and sexual health decisions. Despite Ethiopia's success in expanding access to family planning services, information on the quality of family planning counseling is limited. The objectives of this study were to assess whether the quality of counseling from the female client´s perspective has changed over time (2014 to 2018) and to investigate determinants associated with the quality of counseling to provide a more nuanced understanding of disparities in sexual and reproductive health outcomes in Ethiopia. counseling on family planning was low, with only 30% of women reporting receiving sufficient information during counseling. The likelihood of good quality counseling was the least among those who had no formal schooling when compared to those who had higher educational attainment (OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.50, 0.97). Women from the wealthiest quintile were 1.72 times more likely (95% CI: 1.10, 2.69) to receive good quality counseling when compared to women in the lower wealth quintile. Women from rural areas were 1.51 times more likely to have received good counseling when compared to those in urban areas (95% CI: 1.04, 2.18). Amhara residents were less likely to receive good counseling when compared to the SNNPR (OR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.32, 0.81). Women who acquired their method from the private sector had worse counseling (OR: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.23, 0.41) when compared to the public sector. Those using short-acting methods were more at risk of receiving lesser quality counseling when compared to users of long-acting methods (OR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.46, 0.72). ConclusionThe results of this analysis indicated that Ethiopia's overall progress in modern contraceptive use has not been accompanied by a corresponding increase in the quality of family planning counseling. Improving the quality of contraception counseling for women across all demographics, including wealth quintiles and education, is a crucial strategy to support positive reproductive health outcomes with a rights-based focus. Based on the findings of this study, it is essential to emphasize the need to do proper counseling for all methods including short-acting methods especially for those working the private sector and some of the regions which have lower prevalence of good counseling. Further community-based participatory and qualitative research should focus on understanding the root causes and barriers to the delivery of high-quality counseling in Ethiopia.

“…In order to better understand access to family planning and primary health care in these countries, data were also collected on health care facilities where women received care. The methods used to collect data from health facilities in the PMA2020 survey have been described in detail elsewhere 10 . Briefly, health care facilities in each enumeration area were surveyed by trained enumerators, who used mobile data collection technology to interview the heads of facilities and upload the data into a secure cloud server.…”
